Vestas signs orders totalling 100 MW in China

Beijing - Vestas has received two orders totalling 100 Megawatt (MW) from Ningxia-based Hanas New Energy (Hanas), the leading regional natural gas supplier in China

The two orders consist of 50 units of the new V100-2.0 MW turbine model which is built on the well-known 2 MW platform which, with its large rotor diameter, is designed and optimised for low wind sites. The turbines will be installed in the Yanchi wind farm. The orders comprise turbine supply and delivery and a standard two-year service agreement. The order does not include towers. Delivery of the first wind turbine is expected to start in the second quarter of 2014.

Towards 2015, Hanas New Energy intends to build up a total wind energy capacity of one Gigawatt in Ningxia.
